Joan Bowell discovered Chili the kitten on a field, near the place she lives in on a little Greek Island, where she also fosters various other cats she has rescued over the years.
One night she was out feeding her cats when she heard some meowing, which eventually led to finding Chili. Chili looked horrible, with his eyes almost glued shut from a bad infection.
Joan quickly tried to clean his eyes and provide a bit medical care. She also fed Chili some kitty formula, since it looked like he hadn’t eaten in several days.
“Within 14 hours his eyes have gone from being shut closed as if glued and now to both eyes being open,” states Joan.
Chili made a very slow but sure recovery, getting plenty of love from his new cat siblings. And they always seem to be able to cheer him up!
“I think he had already entered into the ‘twilight zone’ when I found him but he’s got an amazing fighter spirit and has already made an incredible recovery!”
Read these characteristics which almost all cat lovers have in common:
INTROVERTED AND SENSITIVE
It’s the nature of cats that they are not friends with everybody, and the same trait can be seen in their owners too. Usually, they live alone and are happy with their independent lifestyle. They are introverts but are comfortable hanging around with other people. However, they would need some me-time to relax and recharge.
CAT LOVERS LEAN TO LEFT
It has been observed that people with liberal political leanings prefer cats over dogs. You might be a liberal dog lover or a conservative cat owner; if you’re a liberal, you love cats and vice versa.
CAT OWNERS ARE OPEN-MINDED
Five traits – conscientiousness, neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, and openness are often seen in most cat lovers. As compared to dog owners, people who have cats as pets are more open and therefore, have greater artistic creativity.
ATTENTION SEEKERS
Just like their pets, cat lovers seek attention from people around them. They like to be the centre of all conversations. At times, cat owners rely on their pets for emotional support.
THEY RESPECT CATS MORE THAN ANYONE
Cat people respect cats more than humans, in general. The saddest sight for a cat lover is to see the animal on the streets without a home. Cat lovers are often seen making a special effort to rescue or rehabilitate homeless cats.
